Graceful Beginnings was formed to provide an atmosphere of Kindergarten readiness learning through play and activities with Christian beliefs embedded throughout the daily curriculum. Our purpose is to provide a preschool where four year old children can grow socially, cognitively, behaviorally, physically, and spiritually in a fun and safe classroom.
Tami Bronke is the director of both Graceful Beginnings Preschool, our preschool, as well as Graceful Beginnings, currently, kindergarten through 2nd grade.
Mrs. Bronke's passion and mission match that of our school's motto: to help children to marvel at and partake in the glories of God.
In her free time, she loves to marvel at God's creation, especially her beautiful flowers. She also love spending time with her friends and family.
